Counselling in N21
Are you struggling with life and work demands? Are you facing difficult life transitions or perhaps have lost pleasure in activities that you once enjoyed? Maybe you cannot identify what is troubling you, but just know that things don't seem quite right. I appreciate that taking the first steps and reaching out to someone can be daunting, so it is important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable working with. Whatever the reason that brings you to therapy, together we can create a treatment plan that suits your needs, so that you can lead a more fulfilling life.

I offer in-person and online therapy and have over 15 years’ experience working in the mental health sector. Alongside my private practice, I work in the NHS and am the Founder of The Loss Foundation, a bereavement charity. My background spans across helping with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, grief, health issues, and relationship challenges. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and systemic work. This allows me to adapt to your unique situation, rather than expect you to fit into one fixed model.

Psikolojik Danışmanlık bölümünden mezun olduğumda elimde güçlü bir bilimsel harita vardı; fakat yolculuğumda asıl pusulam kalbim oldu. Başlangıçta geçmişe dönüp “neden böyle oldu” sorusuna cevap ararken, zamanla her deneyimin bana “ne öğretmek istediğini” keşfetmeye yöneldim. Bu arayış, beni yalnızca geleneksel psikolojinin sınırlarında kalmaktan çıkararak bilinçaltının derinliklerine, nörobilimin sunduğu açıklamalara, epigenetik ve DNA hafızasına, ThetaHealing ve kuantum fiziğin bakış açısına taşıdı. Böylece hem danışanlarımla hem de kendi iç yolculuğumda daha derin bir bütünleşme alanı açıldı.

Do people think you're fine, but inside, things feel turbulent? Maybe you're overthinking, unsure about decisions, struggling to enjoy life, or are just not where you thought you'd be. Perhaps you're people-pleasing, repeating patterns, or suspect your relationships could be more fulfilling. You need a space that's just for you, so you can pause, re-evaluate, identify "stuck" points, and find new ways to handle things.
Many of my clients struggle with relationships, family issues, life transitions, self-doubt, decisions, and feeling generally unhappy. This can show up as anxiety, depression, destructive behaviour, or feeling "off".

You may appear to be coping on the outside while inside feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about the direction of your life. Perhaps you are facing anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or a period of change. Many people come to therapy when something no longer feels sustainable, and they want space to reflect, understand themselves more deeply, and find a different way forward.
You may be looking for a therapist who offers both emotional depth and practical support, and who understands how life experiences, relationships, and inner patterns shape how we feel today.

I see individual and couple clients with a wide range of issues. They include problems within relationships, parenting issues, bereavement, stress at work, low self-confidence and more.

By coming into therapy, they seek to build a trusting relationship in which they open up, explore, let go of difficult emotions and complex thinking and beliefs.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
